Martini 0 #1 June 12, 2004 I have a Sabre 120 I got for wingsuit jumps. It, like many Sabres, opens pretty fast but acceptably when packed to open as slow as possible. I have another slider that is the exact same width but about two inches longer front to back. I plan on switching to see what happens. Has anybody tried this with good results?Sometimes you eat the bear.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff 0 #2 June 13, 2004 I once complained to PD about a hard-opening Sabre 135, and they sent me a new slider - it was the same width as the original, but 2 inches longer chordwise as you describe. It certainly seemed to slow the openings. Didn't try it with a wingsuit, though. HTH Geoff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martini 0 #3 July 12, 2004 I finally got around to jumping the Sabre with the slider changed out, it makes the openings noticeably sweeter. Still pretty fast but without the shock that it used to have. Jumped it with a wingsuit, after a tracking dive ( a hot one I might add) and after a freefly still going pretty fast. Much better every time. I recommend this mod to all the Sabre-1 owners with hard openings assuming that you're already using proper packing. I don't cringe every time I throw now.Sometimes you eat the bear.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
